Joey Gallo obliterated this JR Graham pitch

0 comments by TOC Locker on 6/13/2015

Texas Rangers rookie Joey Gallo can hit baseballs real far. Minnesota Twins rookie JR Graham can throw baseballs real fast. What happens when Gallo connects with a Graham fastball? Well, this. Huh. Well then. Joey Gallo, your power is intriguing to me, and wish to subscribe to your newsletter. The bomb went 471 feet, in case […]

The wait is over, Twins fans – Byron Buxton is coming to the Twin Cities. Buxton was the second overall pick in the 2012 Draft by the Twins, behind just fellow call-up Carlos Correa of the Astros.

The Washington Nationals could use bullpen help. But then again, who couldn’t? Anyway, Washington is sniffing around a reliever that could solve plenty of their problems – Cincinnati Reds closer Aroldis Chapman. Oh lord, hold me. Yes, a deal is nowhere close, and conversations like this happen between teams on a daily basis. But this one…well, […]

Last week, Joc Pederson began to full level with Giancarlo Stanton on our year-long totals. Apparently, that wasn’t cool with Giancarlo, because he took back his crown with a vengeance this week. 1. Giancarlo Stanton vs Eddie Butler, 484 feet (June 5th) Coors Field + Giancarlo Stanton = PAIN. 2. Wilin Rosario vs David Phelps, […]

Hey MLB teams – do you have assets you’re looking to sell come July 31st? I’ve got some good news for you – you’re in the minority! The trade deadline this year likely won’t be all that active simply because of how bunched up the leagues are this season. Case in point, in the American […]

0 comments by TOC Locker on 6/10/2015

It wasn’t a good night for the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday night. While the team was losing 7-2 to the Royals in the bottom of the eighth inning, Torii Hunter took exception with a called third strike by home plate umpire Mark Ripperger.

Adam Jones lays out to rob Mookie Betts

Boston Red Sox center fielder Mookie Betts has been the victim of some bad luck this season. On Wednesday night, he was the victim of a bit more bad fortune, thanks to Baltimore Orioles center fielder Adam Jones. Damn, what a catch. Jones has won three straight AL Gold Gloves (and four in the last six […]

The MLB Draft is today, and expectations are high for some fanbases, hoping their team drafts the next Bryce Harper or Buster Posey with a high draft pick. And while having a high draft pick usually works out pretty well for a team, it’s not a lock. Last week, we looked at the five worst […]

It was bound to happen one day – a fan sitting near the field up the first base or third base line would get injured by a bat flying into the stands, and it wouldn’t just be a bruise. That’s what happened at Fenway Park during Friday’s game between the Red Sox and Athletics, when […]

Lloyd McClendon gets ejected, loses mind on umpires

0 comments by TOC Locker

Seattle Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon and catcher Mike Zunino were both ejected during Tuesday night’s Mariners-Yankees game after an appeal on a checked swing by Alex Rodriguez. McClendon then lost his damn mind and went on a ridiculous tirade directed at all four umpires. This was a bit juvenile from McClendon, but what do you […]
